about the resource

Spoons Full of Belonging is a collaborative board game that exposes players to
research about belonging and actively fosters connection through game play. Designed for professionals in museums and other organizations, the game showcases research from a multi-year, national research study called Communities of Belonging, which explored factors that contribute to belonging for marginalized visitors and museum staff. The multi-site project involved collaboration with Fred Rogers Institute, Madison Children’s Museum, and the University of Wisconsin.

Here, you will find printable versions of the game materials. You can use coins and paperclips to stand in for tokens and spoons. If you are interested in obtaining a physical copy of the game, please contact KT Todd at ktodd@pittsburghkids.org.
